the private life of

So! Here is my most recent photo shoot of my range outfits. All in all the experience was pretty stressful, but it was well worth it.

Thanks to Rex the male model (he's been in Ralph Lauren and Tommy Hilfiger shows overseas) so I feel very privileged to have had him on board! (wow, he's touched Ralph Lauren's clothes!)


It is all about:
Funny Face glasses from Julia's party
David Attenborough

Amazing location (Joerg's house)

looking disturbing
canning yourself


Men's clothing, styling and set, all by me (Karin Hoffmann)

Make-up - Christy Agenbag
Models - Inge and Rex

Photographer - Theunis Stofberg
Photo editing - Sebastian Borckenhagen (master of photoshop and editing in general)


and some of the colours of the photo's don't quite match...but I'm too lazy to change it now.

Don't Call Me Baby

I just couldn't resist posting these hot (model) pictures of some of my range items.

Photo shoot and Styling: Abigail Rands
Designer of Range: Karin Hoffmann


"Who would dress like that?" said a certain shocked and baffled Sebastian Borckenhagen.

"Lots of people,"
I replied with insouciance.

"Well, everyone would just like LOOK at you if you wear that!" said Sebastian in uncompromising plainsong.

"Well, that's what people want." I replied.


"Oh" said Sebastian wisely.










Goodnight

Poll Results Inconclusive

So Sebastian has kindly notified me that my poll has closed and the results are inconclusive. Hopefully when my blog gains status, I will be able to get a more satisfying result.

So Ashly wants the Salmon Rose pants (she emailed me and told me that's what she voted for)

Ian certainly wants the Fuschia Red pants (apparently hardcore rappers wear them, so Ian also wants to be like them and so on)

Sebastian voted for the Canary Yellow I think (well thats what i told him to vote for maybe)

And that only leaves one last person who knows of my blog, Ma'or. So he must have voted for those Lucite Green ones.

Well wish me luck in my future polls, I suspect they could become quite useful one day.

When I am lost in the mists of time I...

An excerpt from the book I'm half reading when I sometimes have time:

The Hitchikerers Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams, Chapter 25 of Life, the Universe and Everything.

The white Krikkit warship was parked amongst the stark grey crags of the asteroid, alternately flaring under arclights or disappearing in shadow. The blackness of the shaped shadows cast by the hard rocks danced together in wild choreography as the aclights swept around them.

The eleven white robots were bearing, in procession, the Wikkit Key out into the middle of a circle of swinging lights. The Wikkit Key was rebuilt. Its components shone and glittered: the Steel Pillar (or Marvin's leg) of Strength and Power, the Gold Bail (or heart of the infitnite Improbability Drive) of Prosperity, the Perspex Pillar (or Argubuthon Scepter Award for the Most Gratuitous Use OF The Word 'Fuck' In A Serious Screenplay) and the now reconstituted Wooden Pillar (or Ashes of a burnt stump signifying the death of Enlish cricket) of Nature and Spirituality.

'I suppose there is nothing we can do at this point?' asked Arthur nervously.

'No,' sighed Slartibartfast.

The expression of disappointment which crossed Arthur's face was a complete failure, and, since he was standing obscured by shadow, he allowed it to collapse into one of relief.

'Pity,' he said.

'We have no weapons,' said Slartibartfast, 'stupidly.'

'Damn,' said Arthur very quietly.

Ford said nothing.

Trillian said nothing, but in a peculiarly thoughtful and distinct way.
